It’s time for the semis to go underway as the top four get ready to battle it out for the ultimate world cup title. It’s time to go towards Edgbaston for the India vs New Zealand clash.

Both these teams could not face each other in the league stage after the match got washed out. However, India lost to New Zealand in the warm up match.

The Blackcaps began the tournament on a high being one of the unbeaten teams in the tournament but afterwards, they seem to be going down low. As they enter today all eyes will be on Williamson & Boult who would look to dominate India from the outset. An attacking tactic only will work today, enough being the ‘nice guys’ on cricket field.

The Favorites Enter Edgbaston

India stand as favorites considering their form and after their last win against Sri Lanka, they are on another high counting on the success of both their bowlers & batsmen. They won’t be looking to leave any loopholes when they enter the field today.

Prediction

We are going with India considering the pitch and the current form of the team whether they bowl or bat first. Would be looking forward to Ravindra Jadeja’s inclusion into the side considering the value he provides to the team. Toss would again play a crucial role & the team batting first would look to build pressure on the chasing team.
